Healed

Or are you still just reeling?

Are you fine?

Have you found a way to escape?

Are you here?

Just because I need you?

Can we hold up?

A big freeze is heading our way

We are on a hiding to nowhere

We still hope

But our dreams are not the same, no

And I, I lost before I started

I'm collapsing in stellar clouds of gas

Heal me

What words just can't convey

Feel me

Don't let the sun your heart decay

Fight

Or will you show me mercy?

We've expelled

The goodness from our hearts

Are you here

Just to prove your winning?

Can we hole up

And ride out this electrical storm?

We destroyed something beautiful

We have faith

But our truths are not the same, no

Don't give up

Don't let the magic leave us

Stop the loneliest force becoming king of the universe

Heal me

What words just can't convey

Feel me

Don't let the sun in you heart decay

Don't give up

Don't let the magic leave us

We're collapsing in stellar clouds of gas

Heal me

What words just can't convey

Feel me

I won't let the sun in our hearts decay

Day 8- Favourite song from The 2nd Law

Heal me

What words just can't convey

Feel me

Don't let the sun in your hearts decay

I listened to it for the first time only today, but I love it more than the others

People in areas where the pipes are frozen: here is how you can make a simple dry toilet for solids.

You need a bucket with a lid, and sawdust. If you don't have a lid, store the "toilet" outside the back door.

Put a layer of sawdust about 2 inches deep in the bucket.

ONLY POOP IN THE BUCKET. Urine takes up a lot of space, is stinky, and messy and will use up your sawdust's absorption. Pee in a milk jug with lid if you can, or in a kitchen jug/pitcher, and then slosh down the sink.

After you use the bucket, give it a gentle shake. The sawdust will cover the poop. After a couple of uses, add more sawdust. It's fine to put the used paper in here too.

When this is all over- if you have a mulch/compost pile, add it to that. Do not use the resulting compost for food production (fruit trees/bushes is fine but on salad crops is a no no). If you don't have a compost pile, double bag and throw away with general rubbish.

I used this method when I was living on a site that had compost toilets very far from my house, and had stress induced IBS

HOW WILL THE UNIVERSE END?? PT.2

Blog #22                                                   Saturday, September 26th, 2020

Welcome back,

Last time we talked about The BIG RIP, but we will be looking at the……

2. THE BIG FREEZE THEORY OR HEAT DEATH.

The Big Freeze, which is also known as the Heat Death, is one of the possible scenarios predicted by scientists in which the Universe may end. It is a direct consequence of an ever expanding universe. The most telling evidences, such as those that indicate an increasing rate of expansion in regions farthest from us, support this theory. As such, it is the most widely accepted model pertaining to our universe’s ultimate fate.

The term Heat Death comes from the idea that, in an isolated system (the Universe being a very big example), the entropy will continuously increase until it reaches a maximum value. The moment that happens, heat in the system will be evenly distributed, allowing no room for usable energy (or heat) to exist – hence the term ‘heat death’. That means, mechanical motion within the system will no longer be possible.

“Just" a couple trillion years from now, the universe will have expanded so much that no distant galaxies will be visible from our own Milky Way, which will have long since merged with its neighbors. Eventually, 100 trillion years from now, all star formation will cease, ending the Stelliferous Era that’s be running since not long after our universe first formed. Much later, in the so-called Degenerate Era (The Degenerate Era: When the universe stops making stars) galaxies will be gone, too. Stellar remnants will fall apart. And all remaining matter will be locked up inside black holes. fact, black holes will be the last surviving sentinels of the universe as we know it. In the Black Hole Era, they’ll be the only “normal” matter left. But eventually, even these titans will disappear, too.

Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes slowly evaporate by releasing their particles into the universe. First, the smaller, solar-mass black holes will vanish. And by a googol year into the future (a 1 followed by 100 zeroes), Hawking radiation will have killed off even the supermassive black holes.

No normal matter will remain in this final “Dark Era” of the universe, which will last far longer than everything that came before it. And the second law of thermodynamics tells us that in this time frame, all energy will ultimately be evenly distributed. The cosmos will settle at its final resting temperature, just above absolute zero, the coldest temperature possible.

If this future seems dark and depressing, take comfort in knowing that every earthling will have died long before we have to worry about it. In fact, on this timescale of trillions of years, even the existence of our entire species registers as but a brief ray of sunlight before an infinite winter of darkness.

“HOW WILL THE UNIVERSE END?? PT.3”

[startswithabang]

Ask Ethan: Will The Universe Ever Run Out Of Energy?

“The universe is theorized to end with a "big freeze" when even black holes evaporate. Dark energy is thought to expand (but not become more dense) as space expands. Assuming the universe continues to expand at that point of the big freeze, will dark energy eventually stabilize the universes temperature or will it continue to decrease ever closer to absolute zero?”

It should come as no surprise that entropy is increasing in the Universe, that there’s progressively less and less fuel for stars, and that dark energy continues to push all bound structures apart from the ones that aren’t bound to them as time goes on. It appears, to the best of our current knowledge, that we’re headed for a “big freeze” or “heat death” fate: where there’s no more energy to be extracted and put to work in the Universe for any purposes at all.

But is this necessarily our ultimate fate? Or does dark energy potentially give us a way to avoid it? The science is suggestive, but not decisive. Here’s how we’ll learn more.
